ANDY SEED

Andy Seed worked for many years as a primary school teacher in the Yorkshire Dales amongst other places before setting up as a freelance writer in 2000. His output since then has been hugely varied, encompassing books for teachers, children’s poetry, adult and children's non-fiction, children's fiction, radio comedy sketches, comic greetings cards, copy for charities and government agencies involved in education, and web-based learning games.

Andy splits his work time between writing and travelling around schools running workshops and enthusing children and books and reading. Andy is married and currently lives in rural Gloucestershire.

Among Andy's highlights are his humorous memoirs about teaching in the Yorkshire Dales, All Teachers Great and Small, All Teachers Wise and Wonderful and All Teachers Bright and Beautiful, his very funny workdplay-miscellany-activity book for children including The Silly book of Side-Splitting Stuff; his Andi-Boredom Book series, also for children and published by Bloomsbury; and his children’s fiction series Prankenstein.

Andy Seed’s Silly Book of Side-Splitting Stuff was winner of the Blue Peter Book Awards Best Book with Facts 2015 and the following year his Silly Book of Weird and Wacky Words was runner up for the same prize.
